love it when a simple bracket restoration turns into angle-grinder restoration. Think it might be dead...... :(

love the fact that there are so many people dedicated to spannering, tinkering, tweaking, adjusting & fettling in order to keep these fantastic cars on the road...a thought I had whilst on TMF last night!
